I absolutely loved this place. So convenient to everything, clean, friendly staff. The only thing I would change is the bed was a little hard in my opinion but even with that I would absolutely stay again
Everything was great, so glad there are accommodations for our two little dogs, they are a like family for us now that we are empty nesters. Breakfast was not only a great variety but the area was kept very clean, hats off to the friendly staff. They were very accommodating with any questions that we had. Also well versed with the surrounding areas to offer suggestions when we asked about where to go for dinner. We will definitely be returning for another visit.
Check in with Hannah was a pleasure. Our room was ready early. Hannah was very friendly and efficient. The location is perfect with walking distance to everything.
The stay was very comfortable. Friendly staff. Easy walk around town.

Both sets of staff are absolutely amazing. Breakfast was hot and very good. Lots of choices. The location is perfect. We were able to walk out and sit by the river for a bit. Overall fantastic stay!
Rooms were very clean, staff was friendly, gave us early check in, breakfast was above average. Only downside was ac but always have a problem with ac in hotels.
The location was great! Once we were checked in, we were able to walk everywhere downtown, which was very convenient considering it was the first day of Oktoberfest!
Overall stay is excellent. Staff are superb. Only thing is hotel has plumbing issue from day 1 of our stay. Staff have been very helpful regarding the issue.
Amazing stay, friendly staff, walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. Water access, fire pit, waterside chairs, extremely peaceful at night. Beautiful location and atmosphere. Will be back!
Warm fresh cookies out until 10pm, beautiful creek, and lovely staff. Room was perfect for the trip with plenty of counter space, mirrors, and minifridge/ microwave
The were finishing up some renovations when we were there but the hotel was surprisingly quite and clean. Very convenient to downtown Helen. Breakfast was tasty and there was a lot of variety. The outdoor area was clean and there is a great view of the river and folks tubing if you get a balcony river-view room. Would definitely stay there again!
